Summary: Aiba Masaki's a high school student who seems to be the bullying obsession for his classmate Sakurai Sho... Is it just an obsession or there's something more behind this treatment? In what way has fate brought them together in the past?
Warning: In certain chapters, there will be violence, bullying and bad language. So if you are not ok with these things you could just pass...
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the boysunfortunately
“Easy there… you will make us both fall…” Nino said while trying hard not to fall on the ground along with Masaki.
“I’m not the one who can’t keep his balance… you are… stop complaining since you are the one who insisted on bringing me back home… ”
Nino said nothing in response as he helped Masaki get into his house, make sure that Bobo-chan wouldn’t do any spontaneous move, climb up the stairs and put him in his bed. But he had faced many difficulties at the process of all that since Masaki had not so much power and he was clearly bigger than him.
“Here you are…” Masaki tried to stop his laugh at the sight of a slightly exhausted Nino. “I’ll go bring your things…”
***
It had already been a month since his surgery. The doctors had suggested that he should rest for as long as possible for at least two weeks more. He had seen his mother at the hospital once he could stand up and walk. The doctors had suggested that she should remain there at least until Masaki was fully recovered. She was told that her son had just experienced food poisoning in order to prevent from any possible stress that could cause her negative effects.
Nino would visit him but he couldn’t relax… not when his friend was trying desperately to find out about his relationship with Sho. He knew well that Nino loved him but he also knew how much he loved to pick up on people, even if it meant only good.
He had also tried to call Jun but he would find his phone turned off. About three weeks later the caller was not even available. Jun had changed his number. His heart was aching a bit whenever he thought of Jun. He had loved him… maybe not as a lover but as a friend yes... he surely had. And it ached that he might never come across him anymore. He knew that Jun had stopped going to school. So every tie that he had with him, were now cut. He understood. Perhaps if he was in his position he would so the same; run away from anything. The last words coming from Jun’s mouth had hurt him… but he couldn’t change the fact that he loved Sho. His heart was his. He just wished that Jun was now alright. Maybe that friend of his, this Ikuta Toma, could help him and keep him safe. He prayed that he was ok.
Sho had been discharged after a few days but would pay Masaki a visit every single day. He knew Sho had to attend classes and that coming daily could be difficult for him. But for Masaki, it was so nice to wait for him. He could forget what had happened the time Sho was there.
Sho would say about his day and they would talk about random things. Those were the times that Masaki had felt more at ease. He was watching patiently the clock on the wall opposite him, counting the remaining tick-tacks for his visit. He stayed for two – three hours. It was the only time that Masaki could escape from those painful thoughts. It would be the time he could form a genuine smile on his face. It was the time he could feel like little Alice exploring Wonderland… because Sho was literally a wonderland. He couldn’t believe how passionate and determined person was. He talked about the future… their future… how he wanted to become a journalist and write always the truth, revealing big scandals, how he loved music… so many things hidden behind that awful masquerade of the leader… of the bully… Masaki felt lucky.
He knew well that Sho was suffering and that he needed help. He had informed him that he had experimentally started some sessions with Tsuyoshi-sensei. Masaki knew him well. He was the one in charge with him the first years after his mother’s accident. He was glad that Sho had decided to face his demons and fight them. He knew that he had some of his own but he was determined to focus on the happiness and chase them away with Tsuyoshi-sensei’s help. He was determined to fight along too. Because he was not on his own anymore… he had Sho on his side. He had love.
***
“Sho-chan didn’t send me a message as he had promised…” Masaki mumbled to himself a little disappointed as he was holding his mobile phone in his hand. He had informed Sho that he would get discharged that morning and his boyfriend had promised him to text him.
“Sooo now it’s Sho-chan huh?!” Nino’s playful voice reached Masaki’s ears which immediately turned into a deep shade of red out of embarrassment. “Why didn’t you tell me anything about it?!” Nino whined as he gave a little pinch on his friend’s left arm. “I thought we were friends…”
“Well… well… you didn’t tell me anything about you and Ohno Satoshi as well… why am I the one who’s supposed to reveal everything about my private life?!” Masaki tried desperately to cover his shyness. It wasn’t more than a few weeks that he was Sho’s boyfriend. He couldn’t even digest it himself… it felt like a dream. “And apart from that, I… I knew that all you’d do was to mock me…”
Nino muffled a small laugh. “Oh… there’s no way you will avoid that Ma-kun!”
Masaki swallowed noisily knowing how stubborn his friend was. “Nino-chan pl-”
Nino jumped at the edge of the bed energetically and grabbed Masaki’s hand in his. “Tell me… what have you two done till now?” Masaki’s eyes rolled dumbfounded as he looked at Nino winking mischievously.
“What… What are you talking about?!” his voice betrayed his awkwardness.
“Well… I know that you are still recovering from the surgery and there’s no way you would go the whole way, especially since you were obliged to remain in the hospital… but you know there’s always a way for a hot make out session! You know there are always the hands that can be reaaaally helpful in situations like that! So?” Nino looked at his friend excitingly with big eyes while Masaki had buried his face in his free palm.
“Come on…. Ma-kun… Tell me…” Nino was getting impatient “And don’t try to deny that you two were so innocent that you were just sitting and speaking each other words of love because I have caught you both three times being too red and awkward… I’m waiting…”
“I… I… I won’t tell you a thing! And we haven’t do- done anything like that… you pervert… Have I asked you what you have done with your boyfriend?!”
“So you want to know!” Nino smirked.
“I didn’t say th-”
Masaki didn’t have the chance to finish his words as Nino sit up better at the edge of the bed and smiling started speaking. “Well… If I want to be honest we have gone the whole way if you know what I mean… yes! It was amazing! A little awkward at first I won’t deny it but he made me feel so precious! As if I was the most beautiful man on earth… I mean… ok I already know I am a really good-looking guy but having your boyfriend show it like that to you is priceless…” Nino continued with a tone that Masaki could swear that he was reliving the moment. “And he knew what, when and how to do it! That’s why I believe it is good if your partner has some experience before…” all Masaki could do was blinking.
“And despite looking so mignon, I can’t deny that he’s pretty much gifted you know what I mean right?!” Nino chuckled a bit at his own words. “And his stamina… Just to get an idea he wanted once to go for three times… I still can’t believe how I managed to convince him to stop and go for a mere hand job. You know he’s not the type to be satisfied with just that… but my poor cute little butt couldn’t handle it anymore…” Nino sighed. “I love it so much when he’s on top of me… Especially when I tease him and he gets angry… But hey! Don’t tell him that... he will be so arrogant afterwards that he will never agree to let me top him!”
“I’m glad to hear that Kazu… And you’re right… I don’t see why we should change something that satisfies us both though honestly I don’t believe that our sex life interests Masaki at any rate… Especially if that’s the first thing he hears once he got home from the hospital!”
Nino gulped and turned his head to the door where a triumphantly smiling Satoshi and a softly giggling Sho were standing. Crap! That’s all he could think watching his boyfriend having this particular face. Masaki, on the other hand, couldn’t utter a word. He was already red as he listened to Nino alone and now he could feel his face up to his ears burn out of shyness.
Sho went closer and took him in his embrace as he sat at the bed next to him. “You look way too cute when you blush like that” he whispered in his ear making Masaki blush even more. Sho laughed a bit and kissed him on his cheek.
“And Nino-kun with all respect is none of your business what I have done with Masaki and what not. This is between the couple. If Masaki felt like having told you something then he would already have done it. Since he didn’t do that, it means he didn’t feel like it… so you should not push it like that…” Sho said that looking straight at Nino while holding Masaki close to him.
“Welcome home Masaki-kun! I’ll see you tomorrow… Come on Kazu…” Satoshi walked towards the door.
“Kazu will you come or not?” Nino was frowning.
“But I just brought him… I haven’t really seen him at all these days…”
“Well… I think that he prefers to be with Sho right now…” Satoshi grabbed his boyfriend by his arm. “Besides, we have a discussion… you know… about how amazing I am when I’m on top of you!”
Nino opened and closed his mouth like a fish. He lowered his head. He knew there’s no way he could succeed now…
“Bye bye Ma-kun…” he whispered embarrassed. He couldn’t believe he was that exposed.
***
Once they left Sho broke the silence. “Those two are really funny… and they love each other so much…”
Masaki still said nothing in return.
Sho squeezed his cheek playfully. “And you… why are you still so shy?! It’s not like we haven’t done anything before… you had even attacked me back then at the gym… remember?!”
Masaki was avoiding his boyfriend’s gaze. “Well yes… but back then I… was desperate and we were not together… and now you keep telling me all these sweet words… and you treat me like that… and… it is so different… ” his words were spoken with difficulty making Sho chuckling.
Sho caressed Masaki’s hair. “You’re right… It is different…” Masaki turned a bit to meet Sho’s eyes. “You can’t imagine how happy it makes me to see my boyfriend flush like that…” Masaki felt his face burn.
“Sho-chaaaan…” Sho laughed softly but moved away from the bed immediately as he saw a deadly serious Bobo-chan stand next to the door frame.
“Bobo-chan likes you…” Masaki said having his gaze fixed on his dog.
“I… I don’t think so… don’t you see how he looks at me?” Masaki laughed.
“He just examines you… if he didn’t like you, you wouldn’t be able to enter the house! He’s more intelligent than you might think! Go closer and caress his head. He likes it!” Masaki said enthusiastically.
Sho seemed unwilling to move from his spot. He couldn’t be sure how the dog would react to his touch. “What if he bites me?” his voice betrayed his fear.
“Bobo-chan doesn’t bite!” Masaki crossed his hands in front of his chest and pouted.
Sho sighed knowing very well that there was no way he could avoid it. He made a few careful steps towards the dog praying that everything would be ok. He closed his eyes as his hand really slowly moved to his head. He only opened them when he heard Masaki clapping his hands. “You did it Sho-chan!” Sho looked at the dog whose gaze felt like literally piercing his own while his tail was moving in a fast rhythm to and fro.
He felt so lucky. It was such a simple thing but for him it was one of the happiest moments of his life; to be accepted like that. “Nice to meet you Bobo-chan! I’m Sho. I hope we can be friends from now on!” the dog barked happily.
He then turned to Masaki who was smiling, having already a few tears formed in his eyes. Sho caressed Bobo-chan a little longer and then headed to Masaki’s side taking him into his arms. “I didn’t know my boyfriend was such a crybaby…” he whispered teasingly. Masaki couldn’t help it and gave him a little nudge on his shoulder.
“You really are stupid Sho-chan!”
Sho stood up immediately leaving Masaki confused. “Bobo-chan… be a good boy and go to the living room for a minute. I have to discuss with your master over here!” Bobo-chan leaned his head on one side looking at them a bit confused as well. Sho opened the door completely making the dog understand what he was asking him to do. Once he was outside the room, Sho closed the door and turned around smirking.
“How did you call me?! Can you repeat it please?! Or you are afraid?!”
“Of course I’m not! I called you stupid because you are!” Masaki replied stubbornly.
Sho was already standing next to Masaki’s bed. “I could see that you were quite talkative but to have such a mouth no… You do know that if you say it one more time I might not be able to control myself… do you really miss old times so badly?!” his tone was both mischievous and warning.
Masaki just stack his tongue out.
“That’s your reply huh?!”
Sho fell on top of Masaki and attacked his lips forcefully. Masaki’s mouth was there to welcome him. His tongue entered his mouth exploring every single inch. He changed angles so that he could reach even deeper. His hands gradually moved from his cheeks to his collarbones. He desperately tried to get rid of Masaki’s shirt. He opened the buttons one by one as his mouth was now sucking hungrily his boyfriend’s neck and collarbones. His body was screaming for more. His hands started exploring the skin underneath him, feeling so hot, so sensitive. He was losing his mind second by second when his hand touched something rough underneath Masaki’s right chest. His eyes dilated at the realization of what it was and stopped his actions immediately.
“Oh my God! What Am I doing?! Masaki… tell me you’re alright!” he looked concerned Masaki’s flushed face while caressing softly his cheeks.
“Sho-chan… don’t… don’t worry I’m fine… It’s already been a month since my surgery… I… don’t feel any pain…” Sho could see that Masaki was breathing with difficulty.
“Don’t you see how you can’t breathe?!”
Masaki chuckled a bit. “I don’t think this panting I’m having right now is connected to the surgery… please…” Masaki tried to claim his boyfriend’s lips one more time but with no success as the only thing he found was Sho’s palm.
“I won’t do anything unless the doctor gives permission!” His voice was leaving no space for a change of mind.
Masaki was a little disappointed but in the same time he felt extremely happy seeing Sho caring for him that much. He really takes care of… Masaki couldn’t end his thought as a particular thing on Sho caught his attention.
“Sho-chan?!” he whispered. Masaki was avoiding his gaze. “At least will you let me… hmm… help you with th- that?!” Sho realized he was pointing at his crotch and cursed under his breath for not being able to hide the erection that already formed.
He coughed a bit before being able to speak rather embarrassed. “Ma- Masaki… it’s fine… really…”
“But it will be painful… won’t it?! Trust me it’s not like helping you will be dangerous for my health… please…”
Sho couldn’t believe his ears. “I didn’t know that you…”
“That I what?!” Masaki snapped. “You think that it’s something you should hide or feel embarrassed about?! Or perhaps you think that your boyfriend never experienced a similar situation?!” Sho raised an eyebrow. “I… I mean because of… you…” Masaki buried his face in his palms way too embarrassed. “Don’t make me say things like that…” he whined softly.
Sho was dumbfounded. All he could do was to blink in front of Masaki who seemed not to realize what he had just said. “I can’t believe you actually said something like that so straightly while you were blushing so hard when I found you earlier with Nino…”
Masaki lowered his head a bit. “Well that’s because it was Nino… now I’m not with Nino I’m with Sho-chan… the one that I desire as much as he desires me…” Masaki bit his lower lip. “At least I hope so…”
Sho caressed his cheek softly and leaned closer to his ear. “I think that you don’t have to question that…especially now…”
Masaki took his hand into his and said firmly. “Then let me help you!”
Sho didn’t know what to do when he saw Masaki move a bit aside creating space for him on the bed next to him. “Come here Sho-chan” Sho rather reluctantly climbed up on the bed and sat next to Masaki. He could distinguish the determined gaze in his boyfriend’s eyes and couldn’t help but find it extremely cute in a way. Though his mind stopped thinking when he felt a warm hand brushing his sensitive vital part over the trousers.
“I will try my best but hmm… I have never done it before… I mean… to… an- another one…” Masaki said with difficulty. “But you can guide me if… if you want so… something… ok?!”
Sho could only nod as he saw Masaki’s hands zip down his trousers and free his now throbbing member.
“Wow! Sho-chan junior…” Masaki gulped at the sight of it “is… actually… hmm… big…”
Sho tried to say something, to protest but as Masaki’s fingers moved slowly from the tip to the base, he couldn’t utter anything coherent anymore. Only groans and soft moans escaped his now half gapped mouth. His eyes closed and his head leaned on the wall behind him as pleasure took over. He could feel that Masaki was trying to experiment alternating from rubbing to soft squeezes.
Sho’s sounds were like a guide to Masaki who was concentrated on his boyfriend’s face, trying to understand what would make him feel even better. Once he felt that the member in his hand tensed, his rhythm slowly went faster and faster leaving no choice to Sho but ejaculate his hot semen on his boyfriend’s hand.
“How was it Sho-chan?!” Masaki asked curiously as he grabbed a tissue and cleaned his hand. “I… I tried my best…” he continued his face being tomato red.
Sho, who was still trying to catch his breath, could only lean forward and peck his lips. He took a moment to ease his breath and come down from his high before mumbling “Perfect…”
Masaki smiled and embraced his boyfriend. “I’m so relieved Sho-chan! I love you!”
Sho laughed. “You’re full of surprises Aiba Masaki!”
“And you haven’t discovered anything yet!”
……………………………………………
“Everything will be fine!” Nino said as he was walking next to Masaki with his hands in his trouser’s pockets.
It was the first day Masaki was going to school after the surgery and Sho had told him that he would officially announce their relationship to his ‘friends’.
“What if he has problems because of that?! I don’t want him to be in any kind of trouble because of me…” Masaki said in a low voice. “I’ll feel terrible…”
“Well I wouldn’t say no if he experienced at least once the feeling of being bullied…” Nino mumbled.
Masaki stopped walking. “Nino-chan!”
Nino sighed. “Ok… ok… I didn’t mean it! Though it would be enjoyable to see…” he said under his breath but Masaki heard it.
“Nino!”
Nino’s eyes bulged at the outburst of his friend! “Ok… ok! I give up! I’m sorry Ma-kun… I won’t say anything bad for your Sho-chan again… but please where is my –chan?! Please… please… please… don’t be mad at me! I love you sooo much!”
Masaki was still pouting. “I’m talking seriously here Nino-chan… Sho-chan has changed… he’s trying so hard… you know that once a week he has his session with Tsuyoshi-sensei and you’ve learned what he’s passed through… stop being like that! He really loves me!”
Nino smirked he moved closer to his friend and whispered in his ear. “Ah…he really does love you huh?! And how does he prove his love to you?! By being all naughty?!”
Masaki blushed and pushed Nino away. “You truly are intolerable!” he started walking fast, almost running, towards the school leaving Nino behind.
“What?! I didn’t say anything bad!!! Wait… Ma-kun…”
Masaki neither slowed down nor talked to him. He just couldn’t deal with his friend’s teasing behavior. As he went closer to the gate he distinguished Satoshi waiting for Nino.
“Good morning, Satoshi-kun!” he greeted him smiling.
“Good morning Masaki-kun. Umm… Kazu? I thought you were coming together…” Satoshi asked confused.
“He’s coming… I have to go… Sho-chan’s waiting for me…” Masaki said as neutral as possible and started walking towards the old gym.
“Masaki-kun…” Masaki stopped and turned around.
“You know that Kazu really loves you and that he’s more than happy for you… it’s just that he cannot express his feelings differently… you know how his ego is… don’t be harsh on him…”
Masaki laughed a bit. “Well teasing the teaser is certainly fun!”
Satoshi muffled a laugh. “I guess… it is… Go now Sho’s waiting for you! And don’t worry… everything will be fine!”
Masaki nodded. “Oh! There is Nino-chan!” Nino was already passing through the gates.
“You… you really are fast for someone who had surgery one and a half month ago…” he then turned to Satoshi. “And you don’t greet me?! I’m standing here for more than 5 seconds!”
Satoshi smiled and pecked his lips. “I’m sorry my Kazu… here…” he said as he grabbed Nino’s hand holding it tight in his with their fingers intertwined. “Good luck Masaki-kun!”
Masaki smiled and nodded. Nino just winked at him and dragged Satoshi the opposite direction towards the main building. “Toshi… tomorrow will be our second month anniversary… Have you thought about buying me that rare game we saw yesterday?”
“No…”
“You had promised me…”
“No I hadn’t…”
“But you…”
Masaki couldn’t hear anymore. He was watching his friend or more accurately now friends and couldn’t help but smile widely. Nino deserved it. He knew that behind the bratty behavior, he was really sad with all the laughter and the mockery towards his face during the past years.
***
Oh no! I will be late! He walked fast to the old gym and opened the door.
“Oh! Look who came to pay us a visit! Now apart from stupid we found out that you’re also a weakling…” the member of Sho’s gang didn’t have the chance to continue as a sharp slap landed forcefully on his cheek.
“You be careful because IF you EVER again speak about Masaki like that you will pray not to come across me not even once in your life! Got it?!” Sho was speaking really angrily, having grabbed the other student by his collar.
“Sho-chan…” Masaki went closer to him. “It’s ok… let him be… please…” Sho turned his head to the side and sighed as he watched these big doe like eyes looking straight at him. “Fine…” he let the other student free. “But this is a warning you stupid shit!”
The others’ were left dumbfounded. Sakurai Sho had called Aiba Masaki ‘Masaki’ and Aiba Masaki had called Sakurai Sho ‘Sho-chan’… They couldn’t believe their ears…
“As I told you earlier I have an announcement to make… From now on whoever touches or even speaks in a rude way to Masaki will have to deal with me. From now on everyone will address him ‘Aiba-sama’… and”
Sho had to stop as he felt Masaki shake his sleeve. “Sho-chan… I think it’s too mu-”
“It’s not too much baby!” Sho caressed softly his cheek making Masaki blush and the members of the gang look at each other trying to process the whole thing.
“So… As I was saying, you will treat Aiba-sama the same way you treat me… Got it?!”
Yuichi was the one who found the power to speak. “You mean… I’m sorry if I’m discreet… that you and Aiba…-sama are together?”
Sho raised an eyebrow. “Why? Is there a problem with that?!”
“No! Of course not!”
“Glad to hear that Nakamaru-san!” Sho then said nothing else. He grabbed Masaki by his waist and to everyone’s surprise, including Masaki, kissed him.
Masaki lowered his head, which was feeling like burning, once Sho broke the kiss, and dared to look at no one.
“Oh! And one more thing… if anyone wishes to greet Kamenashi he can write down his last wishes… Am I clear?” He turned to Masaki. “Let’s go baby…” Sho grabbed Masaki’s hand and lead him out of the old gym.
“Sho-chan… you… you didn’t have to do that…” Masaki said as they walking towards the main building.
“Do what?! Make them treat you as you deserve?!”
“No… but calling me Aiba-sama is a bit…”
“No it’s not. I’m Sakurai-sama and you’re my boyfriend… so we’re equals!”
“My point Sho-chan… we’re all equals…”
“Baby… I have explained it to you… I can’t say… you know that our little gang doesn’t exist anymore… It could be dangerous for us and it might intrigue Sakurai’s interest in a way we don’t want it… at least not until the trial takes place”
Masaki lowered his head. “Well… ok… you might be right… but… still… you didn’t have to kiss me in front of everyone…”
Sho smiled and leaned closer. “Why?! Shy?! I want to scream it to the whole world you’re mine!”
Masaki smiled shyly but said nothing in return. He just clung on Sho’s arm.
…………………………………
“When will your mother be discharged from the hospital Masaki-kun?”
Masaki swallowed quickly the remaining hamburger in his mouth before replying.
“Next week! The last results were good. She remained for some physiotherapy for her hands!” It was obvious that from his tone that he was extremely happy about it. “And there is also some improvement in her back! She will be able to sit for more hours now!”
“I’m so glad to hear that Masaki-kun!!!” Satoshi said revealing a genuine smile while Sho rubbed his boyfriend’s back.
“Now you have no excuses Mister! You have to focus on school! Though I believe nothing good will come out of that…”
Masaki frowned at his friend’s comment. “What do you mean by that Nino-chan?!”
“You can’t expect too much from someone who, even though he doesn’t want it, is a little stupid… I’ve seen some of your experiments in the laboratory… We were lucky that you didn’t set the whole building on fire!”
Masaki pouted. “I never did that! It was only once that there was a small explosion… And if I’m not mistaken it was someone else that had changed the labels on the bottles!”
Nino turned his gaze away but said nothing more. “I guess I’ll order another hamburger!” he stood up and headed to the cashier to make his order.
“Don’t ignore me when I’m talking to you!” Masaki tried to make his friend listen to him in vain.
Sho kissed his cheek. “Don’t worry baby… let him be… I believe in you! I have also missed so many classes… We will do it and prove him wrong ok?!”
Masaki nodded smiling and drank some of his cola.
“Sho-chan?!” Sho turned a bit to look at him.
“What is it baby?”
“When will the trial of your father take place?!”
Sho looked at Satoshi for a brief moment before turning his gaze back to his boyfriend. “Soon… I don’t know the exact date though… why?”
Masaki was looking down at his plate. “I want you to be happy… And with your father in jail I know you aren’t…. I hope it is very soon! That way you will be able to return to him!”
Sho smiled faintly. “It’s not that easy Masaki. Even when my father gets released I will continue to be under the custody of Sakurai Shun…” Sho caught the confused expression on his boyfriend’s face. “At least until I turn 20… But hey… don’t look like that… you don’t have to worry about it…”
“But he’s evil…” Masaki’s voice was low.
“Yes… he might be. But I know how to deal with him. I’m not that scared little boy anymore. I go and visit Tsuyoshi-sensei every week and don’t forget that now I have you. How could I be afraid of the dark, when I know that I will be able to see the brightest sun the next day?!”
“Wow! For a hypothetically super badass leader of a gang you can be really sappy!” Nino said smirking as he sat back at his seat next to Satoshi.
Sho just laughed. “And you… for a hypothetically closed to his own world little geek you can be such a brat!”
Satoshi burst into laughs; something that seemed to annoy Nino. “Did you say anything my Toshi?!”
Satoshi pecked lightly his lips. “I didn’t say anything… my Kazu!”
Masaki wiped his tears. “Ma-kun… seriously you should work on your crybabiness!”
Everyone including Masaki laughed at Nino’s comment. “I want to eat my hamburger with my cute hamburger hands… I don’t want to be distracted by your little whines!” he continued in the same playful way.
Masaki had turned his head away. “It’s just that I’m happy!”
“To our friendship!” Satoshi was holding his cup up to prevent another series of Nino's teasing comments towards Masaki.
“To our friendship!” repeated everyone, chinking their glasses.
***
“Ma-kun don’t be like that… I’m pretty sure that Sho-chan will shower you with messages full of declarations of love and adoration once you get back home!” Nino said as they were walking towards their houses. Sho and Satoshi had left together since they were heading north.
“I doubt it that I’m going to be the only one… Doesn’t your Toshi send you as well messages like My Kazu, my cute little kitty, I can’t wait to see you again…?”
Nino gave a soft nudge at Masaki. “Don’t make fun of me…”
Masaki smiled. “You really love him don’t you?!” he said, having his gaze focused on the road ahead of him.
“I do. I really do…” Nino’s voice was nothing like before. It was sincere, it was shy.
Masaki muffled his head. “You can’t believe how happy I am for you Nino-chan!”
Nino looked at his friend’s eyes. “You can’t believe how happy I am for you too Ma-kun… you deserve this… that’s why I cross my fingers Sho really makes you happy!”
“I do know that Nino-chan… I know!” Masaki replied and embraced him tightly.
***
“Why didn’t you tell Masaki that the trial will take place in a week from now?” Satoshi asked his friend as they were heading to the bus stop.
“I don’t want to put him under pressure. I mean… it’s going to be a difficult situation… I know it’s the last one but I wish that he’s away from all this as much as possible…”
“Are you nervous?!” Satoshi asked him concerned.
“Well… unless I hear the final decision I can’t be less than nervous…” Sho admitted.
“You don’t have to… This is the last thing… and then it will be over…”
“That’s exactly why I feel nervous… I want it so badly to happen…”
“Everything will be fine and I will be there with you… so don’t worry about it! Ok?” Satoshi said while smiling reassuringly to his friend.
“Thank you Satoshi… I hope it will be the end…”
“It will be Sho… I promise you it will be!”

CHAPTER 15
“Easy there… you will make us both fall…” Nino said while trying hard not to fall on the ground along with Masaki.
“I’m not the one who can’t keep his balance… you are… stop complaining since you are the one who insisted on bringing me back home… ”
Nino said nothing in response as he helped Masaki get into his house, make sure that Bobo-chan wouldn’t do any spontaneous move, climb up the stairs and put him in his bed. But he had faced many difficulties at the process of all that since Masaki had not so much power and he was clearly bigger than him.
“Here you are…” Masaki tried to stop his laugh at the sight of a slightly exhausted Nino. “I’ll go bring your things…”
***
It had already been a month since his surgery. The doctors had suggested that he should rest for as long as possible for at least two weeks more. He had seen his mother at the hospital once he could stand up and walk. The doctors had suggested that she should remain there at least until Masaki was fully recovered. She was told that her son had just experienced food poisoning in order to prevent from any possible stress that could cause her negative effects.
Nino would visit him but he couldn’t relax… not when his friend was trying desperately to find out about his relationship with Sho. He knew well that Nino loved him but he also knew how much he loved to pick up on people, even if it meant only good.
He had also tried to call Jun but he would find his phone turned off. About three weeks later the caller was not even available. Jun had changed his number. His heart was aching a bit whenever he thought of Jun. He had loved him… maybe not as a lover but as a friend yes... he surely had. And it ached that he might never come across him anymore. He knew that Jun had stopped going to school. So every tie that he had with him, were now cut. He understood. Perhaps if he was in his position he would so the same; run away from anything. The last words coming from Jun’s mouth had hurt him… but he couldn’t change the fact that he loved Sho. His heart was his. He just wished that Jun was now alright. Maybe that friend of his, this Ikuta Toma, could help him and keep him safe. He prayed that he was ok.
Sho had been discharged after a few days but would pay Masaki a visit every single day. He knew Sho had to attend classes and that coming daily could be difficult for him. But for Masaki, it was so nice to wait for him. He could forget what had happened the time Sho was there.
Sho would say about his day and they would talk about random things. Those were the times that Masaki had felt more at ease. He was watching patiently the clock on the wall opposite him, counting the remaining tick-tacks for his visit. He stayed for two – three hours. It was the only time that Masaki could escape from those painful thoughts. It would be the time he could form a genuine smile on his face. It was the time he could feel like little Alice exploring Wonderland… because Sho was literally a wonderland. He couldn’t believe how passionate and determined person was. He talked about the future… their future… how he wanted to become a journalist and write always the truth, revealing big scandals, how he loved music… so many things hidden behind that awful masquerade of the leader… of the bully… Masaki felt lucky.
He knew well that Sho was suffering and that he needed help. He had informed him that he had experimentally started some sessions with Tsuyoshi-sensei. Masaki knew him well. He was the one in charge with him the first years after his mother’s accident. He was glad that Sho had decided to face his demons and fight them. He knew that he had some of his own but he was determined to focus on the happiness and chase them away with Tsuyoshi-sensei’s help. He was determined to fight along too. Because he was not on his own anymore… he had Sho on his side. He had love.
***
“Sho-chan didn’t send me a message as he had promised…” Masaki mumbled to himself a little disappointed as he was holding his mobile phone in his hand. He had informed Sho that he would get discharged that morning and his boyfriend had promised him to text him.
“Sooo now it’s Sho-chan huh?!” Nino’s playful voice reached Masaki’s ears which immediately turned into a deep shade of red out of embarrassment. “Why didn’t you tell me anything about it?!” Nino whined as he gave a little pinch on his friend’s left arm. “I thought we were friends…”
“Well… well… you didn’t tell me anything about you and Ohno Satoshi as well… why am I the one who’s supposed to reveal everything about my private life?!” Masaki tried desperately to cover his shyness. It wasn’t more than a few weeks that he was Sho’s boyfriend. He couldn’t even digest it himself… it felt like a dream. “And apart from that, I… I knew that all you’d do was to mock me…”
Nino muffled a small laugh. “Oh… there’s no way you will avoid that Ma-kun!”
Masaki swallowed noisily knowing how stubborn his friend was. “Nino-chan pl-”
Nino jumped at the edge of the bed energetically and grabbed Masaki’s hand in his. “Tell me… what have you two done till now?” Masaki’s eyes rolled dumbfounded as he looked at Nino winking mischievously.
“What… What are you talking about?!” his voice betrayed his awkwardness.
“Well… I know that you are still recovering from the surgery and there’s no way you would go the whole way, especially since you were obliged to remain in the hospital… but you know there’s always a way for a hot make out session! You know there are always the hands that can be reaaaally helpful in situations like that! So?” Nino looked at his friend excitingly with big eyes while Masaki had buried his face in his free palm.
“Come on…. Ma-kun… Tell me…” Nino was getting impatient “And don’t try to deny that you two were so innocent that you were just sitting and speaking each other words of love because I have caught you both three times being too red and awkward… I’m waiting…”
“I… I… I won’t tell you a thing! And we haven’t do- done anything like that… you pervert… Have I asked you what you have done with your boyfriend?!”
“So you want to know!” Nino smirked.
“I didn’t say th-”
Masaki didn’t have the chance to finish his words as Nino sit up better at the edge of the bed and smiling started speaking. “Well… If I want to be honest we have gone the whole way if you know what I mean… yes! It was amazing! A little awkward at first I won’t deny it but he made me feel so precious! As if I was the most beautiful man on earth… I mean… ok I already know I am a really good-looking guy but having your boyfriend show it like that to you is priceless…” Nino continued with a tone that Masaki could swear that he was reliving the moment. “And he knew what, when and how to do it! That’s why I believe it is good if your partner has some experience before…” all Masaki could do was blinking.
“And despite looking so mignon, I can’t deny that he’s pretty much gifted you know what I mean right?!” Nino chuckled a bit at his own words. “And his stamina… Just to get an idea he wanted once to go for three times… I still can’t believe how I managed to convince him to stop and go for a mere hand job. You know he’s not the type to be satisfied with just that… but my poor cute little butt couldn’t handle it anymore…” Nino sighed. “I love it so much when he’s on top of me… Especially when I tease him and he gets angry… But hey! Don’t tell him that... he will be so arrogant afterwards that he will never agree to let me top him!”
“I’m glad to hear that Kazu… And you’re right… I don’t see why we should change something that satisfies us both though honestly I don’t believe that our sex life interests Masaki at any rate… Especially if that’s the first thing he hears once he got home from the hospital!”
Nino gulped and turned his head to the door where a triumphantly smiling Satoshi and a softly giggling Sho were standing. Crap! That’s all he could think watching his boyfriend having this particular face. Masaki, on the other hand, couldn’t utter a word. He was already red as he listened to Nino alone and now he could feel his face up to his ears burn out of shyness.
Sho went closer and took him in his embrace as he sat at the bed next to him. “You look way too cute when you blush like that” he whispered in his ear making Masaki blush even more. Sho laughed a bit and kissed him on his cheek.
“And Nino-kun with all respect is none of your business what I have done with Masaki and what not. This is between the couple. If Masaki felt like having told you something then he would already have done it. Since he didn’t do that, it means he didn’t feel like it… so you should not push it like that…” Sho said that looking straight at Nino while holding Masaki close to him.
“Welcome home Masaki-kun! I’ll see you tomorrow… Come on Kazu…” Satoshi walked towards the door.
“Kazu will you come or not?” Nino was frowning.
“But I just brought him… I haven’t really seen him at all these days…”
“Well… I think that he prefers to be with Sho right now…” Satoshi grabbed his boyfriend by his arm. “Besides, we have a discussion… you know… about how amazing I am when I’m on top of you!”
Nino opened and closed his mouth like a fish. He lowered his head. He knew there’s no way he could succeed now…
“Bye bye Ma-kun…” he whispered embarrassed. He couldn’t believe he was that exposed.
***
Once they left Sho broke the silence. “Those two are really funny… and they love each other so much…”
Masaki still said nothing in return.
Sho squeezed his cheek playfully. “And you… why are you still so shy?! It’s not like we haven’t done anything before… you had even attacked me back then at the gym… remember?!”
Masaki was avoiding his boyfriend’s gaze. “Well yes… but back then I… was desperate and we were not together… and now you keep telling me all these sweet words… and you treat me like that… and… it is so different… ” his words were spoken with difficulty making Sho chuckling.
Sho caressed Masaki’s hair. “You’re right… It is different…” Masaki turned a bit to meet Sho’s eyes. “You can’t imagine how happy it makes me to see my boyfriend flush like that…” Masaki felt his face burn.
“Sho-chaaaan…” Sho laughed softly but moved away from the bed immediately as he saw a deadly serious Bobo-chan stand next to the door frame.
“Bobo-chan likes you…” Masaki said having his gaze fixed on his dog.
“I… I don’t think so… don’t you see how he looks at me?” Masaki laughed.
“He just examines you… if he didn’t like you, you wouldn’t be able to enter the house! He’s more intelligent than you might think! Go closer and caress his head. He likes it!” Masaki said enthusiastically.
Sho seemed unwilling to move from his spot. He couldn’t be sure how the dog would react to his touch. “What if he bites me?” his voice betrayed his fear.
“Bobo-chan doesn’t bite!” Masaki crossed his hands in front of his chest and pouted.
Sho sighed knowing very well that there was no way he could avoid it. He made a few careful steps towards the dog praying that everything would be ok. He closed his eyes as his hand really slowly moved to his head. He only opened them when he heard Masaki clapping his hands. “You did it Sho-chan!” Sho looked at the dog whose gaze felt like literally piercing his own while his tail was moving in a fast rhythm to and fro.
He felt so lucky. It was such a simple thing but for him it was one of the happiest moments of his life; to be accepted like that. “Nice to meet you Bobo-chan! I’m Sho. I hope we can be friends from now on!” the dog barked happily.
He then turned to Masaki who was smiling, having already a few tears formed in his eyes. Sho caressed Bobo-chan a little longer and then headed to Masaki’s side taking him into his arms. “I didn’t know my boyfriend was such a crybaby…” he whispered teasingly. Masaki couldn’t help it and gave him a little nudge on his shoulder.
“You really are stupid Sho-chan!”
Sho stood up immediately leaving Masaki confused. “Bobo-chan… be a good boy and go to the living room for a minute. I have to discuss with your master over here!” Bobo-chan leaned his head on one side looking at them a bit confused as well. Sho opened the door completely making the dog understand what he was asking him to do. Once he was outside the room, Sho closed the door and turned around smirking.
“How did you call me?! Can you repeat it please?! Or you are afraid?!”
“Of course I’m not! I called you stupid because you are!” Masaki replied stubbornly.
Sho was already standing next to Masaki’s bed. “I could see that you were quite talkative but to have such a mouth no… You do know that if you say it one more time I might not be able to control myself… do you really miss old times so badly?!” his tone was both mischievous and warning.
Masaki just stack his tongue out.
“That’s your reply huh?!”
Sho fell on top of Masaki and attacked his lips forcefully. Masaki’s mouth was there to welcome him. His tongue entered his mouth exploring every single inch. He changed angles so that he could reach even deeper. His hands gradually moved from his cheeks to his collarbones. He desperately tried to get rid of Masaki’s shirt. He opened the buttons one by one as his mouth was now sucking hungrily his boyfriend’s neck and collarbones. His body was screaming for more. His hands started exploring the skin underneath him, feeling so hot, so sensitive. He was losing his mind second by second when his hand touched something rough underneath Masaki’s right chest. His eyes dilated at the realization of what it was and stopped his actions immediately.
“Oh my God! What Am I doing?! Masaki… tell me you’re alright!” he looked concerned Masaki’s flushed face while caressing softly his cheeks.
“Sho-chan… don’t… don’t worry I’m fine… It’s already been a month since my surgery… I… don’t feel any pain…” Sho could see that Masaki was breathing with difficulty.
“Don’t you see how you can’t breathe?!”
Masaki chuckled a bit. “I don’t think this panting I’m having right now is connected to the surgery… please…” Masaki tried to claim his boyfriend’s lips one more time but with no success as the only thing he found was Sho’s palm.
“I won’t do anything unless the doctor gives permission!” His voice was leaving no space for a change of mind.
Masaki was a little disappointed but in the same time he felt extremely happy seeing Sho caring for him that much. He really takes care of… Masaki couldn’t end his thought as a particular thing on Sho caught his attention.
“Sho-chan?!” he whispered. Masaki was avoiding his gaze. “At least will you let me… hmm… help you with th- that?!” Sho realized he was pointing at his crotch and cursed under his breath for not being able to hide the erection that already formed.
He coughed a bit before being able to speak rather embarrassed. “Ma- Masaki… it’s fine… really…”
“But it will be painful… won’t it?! Trust me it’s not like helping you will be dangerous for my health… please…”
Sho couldn’t believe his ears. “I didn’t know that you…”
“That I what?!” Masaki snapped. “You think that it’s something you should hide or feel embarrassed about?! Or perhaps you think that your boyfriend never experienced a similar situation?!” Sho raised an eyebrow. “I… I mean because of… you…” Masaki buried his face in his palms way too embarrassed. “Don’t make me say things like that…” he whined softly.
Sho was dumbfounded. All he could do was to blink in front of Masaki who seemed not to realize what he had just said. “I can’t believe you actually said something like that so straightly while you were blushing so hard when I found you earlier with Nino…”
Masaki lowered his head a bit. “Well that’s because it was Nino… now I’m not with Nino I’m with Sho-chan… the one that I desire as much as he desires me…” Masaki bit his lower lip. “At least I hope so…”
Sho caressed his cheek softly and leaned closer to his ear. “I think that you don’t have to question that…especially now…”
Masaki took his hand into his and said firmly. “Then let me help you!”
Sho didn’t know what to do when he saw Masaki move a bit aside creating space for him on the bed next to him. “Come here Sho-chan” Sho rather reluctantly climbed up on the bed and sat next to Masaki. He could distinguish the determined gaze in his boyfriend’s eyes and couldn’t help but find it extremely cute in a way. Though his mind stopped thinking when he felt a warm hand brushing his sensitive vital part over the trousers.
“I will try my best but hmm… I have never done it before… I mean… to… an- another one…” Masaki said with difficulty. “But you can guide me if… if you want so… something… ok?!”
Sho could only nod as he saw Masaki’s hands zip down his trousers and free his now throbbing member.
“Wow! Sho-chan junior…” Masaki gulped at the sight of it “is… actually… hmm… big…”
Sho tried to say something, to protest but as Masaki’s fingers moved slowly from the tip to the base, he couldn’t utter anything coherent anymore. Only groans and soft moans escaped his now half gapped mouth. His eyes closed and his head leaned on the wall behind him as pleasure took over. He could feel that Masaki was trying to experiment alternating from rubbing to soft squeezes.
Sho’s sounds were like a guide to Masaki who was concentrated on his boyfriend’s face, trying to understand what would make him feel even better. Once he felt that the member in his hand tensed, his rhythm slowly went faster and faster leaving no choice to Sho but ejaculate his hot semen on his boyfriend’s hand.
“How was it Sho-chan?!” Masaki asked curiously as he grabbed a tissue and cleaned his hand. “I… I tried my best…” he continued his face being tomato red.
Sho, who was still trying to catch his breath, could only lean forward and peck his lips. He took a moment to ease his breath and come down from his high before mumbling “Perfect…”
Masaki smiled and embraced his boyfriend. “I’m so relieved Sho-chan! I love you!”
Sho laughed. “You’re full of surprises Aiba Masaki!”
“And you haven’t discovered anything yet!”
……………………………………………
“Everything will be fine!” Nino said as he was walking next to Masaki with his hands in his trouser’s pockets.
It was the first day Masaki was going to school after the surgery and Sho had told him that he would officially announce their relationship to his ‘friends’.
“What if he has problems because of that?! I don’t want him to be in any kind of trouble because of me…” Masaki said in a low voice. “I’ll feel terrible…”
“Well I wouldn’t say no if he experienced at least once the feeling of being bullied…” Nino mumbled.
Masaki stopped walking. “Nino-chan!”
Nino sighed. “Ok… ok… I didn’t mean it! Though it would be enjoyable to see…” he said under his breath but Masaki heard it.
“Nino!”
Nino’s eyes bulged at the outburst of his friend! “Ok… ok! I give up! I’m sorry Ma-kun… I won’t say anything bad for your Sho-chan again… but please where is my –chan?! Please… please… please… don’t be mad at me! I love you sooo much!”
Masaki was still pouting. “I’m talking seriously here Nino-chan… Sho-chan has changed… he’s trying so hard… you know that once a week he has his session with Tsuyoshi-sensei and you’ve learned what he’s passed through… stop being like that! He really loves me!”
Nino smirked he moved closer to his friend and whispered in his ear. “Ah…he really does love you huh?! And how does he prove his love to you?! By being all naughty?!”
Masaki blushed and pushed Nino away. “You truly are intolerable!” he started walking fast, almost running, towards the school leaving Nino behind.
“What?! I didn’t say anything bad!!! Wait… Ma-kun…”
Masaki neither slowed down nor talked to him. He just couldn’t deal with his friend’s teasing behavior. As he went closer to the gate he distinguished Satoshi waiting for Nino.
“Good morning, Satoshi-kun!” he greeted him smiling.
“Good morning Masaki-kun. Umm… Kazu? I thought you were coming together…” Satoshi asked confused.
“He’s coming… I have to go… Sho-chan’s waiting for me…” Masaki said as neutral as possible and started walking towards the old gym.
“Masaki-kun…” Masaki stopped and turned around.
“You know that Kazu really loves you and that he’s more than happy for you… it’s just that he cannot express his feelings differently… you know how his ego is… don’t be harsh on him…”
Masaki laughed a bit. “Well teasing the teaser is certainly fun!”
Satoshi muffled a laugh. “I guess… it is… Go now Sho’s waiting for you! And don’t worry… everything will be fine!”
Masaki nodded. “Oh! There is Nino-chan!” Nino was already passing through the gates.
“You… you really are fast for someone who had surgery one and a half month ago…” he then turned to Satoshi. “And you don’t greet me?! I’m standing here for more than 5 seconds!”
Satoshi smiled and pecked his lips. “I’m sorry my Kazu… here…” he said as he grabbed Nino’s hand holding it tight in his with their fingers intertwined. “Good luck Masaki-kun!”
Masaki smiled and nodded. Nino just winked at him and dragged Satoshi the opposite direction towards the main building. “Toshi… tomorrow will be our second month anniversary… Have you thought about buying me that rare game we saw yesterday?”
“No…”
“You had promised me…”
“No I hadn’t…”
“But you…”
Masaki couldn’t hear anymore. He was watching his friend or more accurately now friends and couldn’t help but smile widely. Nino deserved it. He knew that behind the bratty behavior, he was really sad with all the laughter and the mockery towards his face during the past years.
***
Oh no! I will be late! He walked fast to the old gym and opened the door.
“Oh! Look who came to pay us a visit! Now apart from stupid we found out that you’re also a weakling…” the member of Sho’s gang didn’t have the chance to continue as a sharp slap landed forcefully on his cheek.
“You be careful because IF you EVER again speak about Masaki like that you will pray not to come across me not even once in your life! Got it?!” Sho was speaking really angrily, having grabbed the other student by his collar.
“Sho-chan…” Masaki went closer to him. “It’s ok… let him be… please…” Sho turned his head to the side and sighed as he watched these big doe like eyes looking straight at him. “Fine…” he let the other student free. “But this is a warning you stupid shit!”
The others’ were left dumbfounded. Sakurai Sho had called Aiba Masaki ‘Masaki’ and Aiba Masaki had called Sakurai Sho ‘Sho-chan’… They couldn’t believe their ears…
“As I told you earlier I have an announcement to make… From now on whoever touches or even speaks in a rude way to Masaki will have to deal with me. From now on everyone will address him ‘Aiba-sama’… and”
Sho had to stop as he felt Masaki shake his sleeve. “Sho-chan… I think it’s too mu-”
“It’s not too much baby!” Sho caressed softly his cheek making Masaki blush and the members of the gang look at each other trying to process the whole thing.
“So… As I was saying, you will treat Aiba-sama the same way you treat me… Got it?!”
Yuichi was the one who found the power to speak. “You mean… I’m sorry if I’m discreet… that you and Aiba…-sama are together?”
Sho raised an eyebrow. “Why? Is there a problem with that?!”
“No! Of course not!”
“Glad to hear that Nakamaru-san!” Sho then said nothing else. He grabbed Masaki by his waist and to everyone’s surprise, including Masaki, kissed him.
Masaki lowered his head, which was feeling like burning, once Sho broke the kiss, and dared to look at no one.
“Oh! And one more thing… if anyone wishes to greet Kamenashi he can write down his last wishes… Am I clear?” He turned to Masaki. “Let’s go baby…” Sho grabbed Masaki’s hand and lead him out of the old gym.
“Sho-chan… you… you didn’t have to do that…” Masaki said as they walking towards the main building.
“Do what?! Make them treat you as you deserve?!”
“No… but calling me Aiba-sama is a bit…”
“No it’s not. I’m Sakurai-sama and you’re my boyfriend… so we’re equals!”
“My point Sho-chan… we’re all equals…”
“Baby… I have explained it to you… I can’t say… you know that our little gang doesn’t exist anymore… It could be dangerous for us and it might intrigue Sakurai’s interest in a way we don’t want it… at least not until the trial takes place”
Masaki lowered his head. “Well… ok… you might be right… but… still… you didn’t have to kiss me in front of everyone…”
Sho smiled and leaned closer. “Why?! Shy?! I want to scream it to the whole world you’re mine!”
Masaki smiled shyly but said nothing in return. He just clung on Sho’s arm.
…………………………………
“When will your mother be discharged from the hospital Masaki-kun?”
Masaki swallowed quickly the remaining hamburger in his mouth before replying.
“Next week! The last results were good. She remained for some physiotherapy for her hands!” It was obvious that from his tone that he was extremely happy about it. “And there is also some improvement in her back! She will be able to sit for more hours now!”
“I’m so glad to hear that Masaki-kun!!!” Satoshi said revealing a genuine smile while Sho rubbed his boyfriend’s back.
“Now you have no excuses Mister! You have to focus on school! Though I believe nothing good will come out of that…”
Masaki frowned at his friend’s comment. “What do you mean by that Nino-chan?!”
“You can’t expect too much from someone who, even though he doesn’t want it, is a little stupid… I’ve seen some of your experiments in the laboratory… We were lucky that you didn’t set the whole building on fire!”
Masaki pouted. “I never did that! It was only once that there was a small explosion… And if I’m not mistaken it was someone else that had changed the labels on the bottles!”
Nino turned his gaze away but said nothing more. “I guess I’ll order another hamburger!” he stood up and headed to the cashier to make his order.
“Don’t ignore me when I’m talking to you!” Masaki tried to make his friend listen to him in vain.
Sho kissed his cheek. “Don’t worry baby… let him be… I believe in you! I have also missed so many classes… We will do it and prove him wrong ok?!”
Masaki nodded smiling and drank some of his cola.
“Sho-chan?!” Sho turned a bit to look at him.
“What is it baby?”
“When will the trial of your father take place?!”
Sho looked at Satoshi for a brief moment before turning his gaze back to his boyfriend. “Soon… I don’t know the exact date though… why?”
Masaki was looking down at his plate. “I want you to be happy… And with your father in jail I know you aren’t…. I hope it is very soon! That way you will be able to return to him!”
Sho smiled faintly. “It’s not that easy Masaki. Even when my father gets released I will continue to be under the custody of Sakurai Shun…” Sho caught the confused expression on his boyfriend’s face. “At least until I turn 20… But hey… don’t look like that… you don’t have to worry about it…”
“But he’s evil…” Masaki’s voice was low.
“Yes… he might be. But I know how to deal with him. I’m not that scared little boy anymore. I go and visit Tsuyoshi-sensei every week and don’t forget that now I have you. How could I be afraid of the dark, when I know that I will be able to see the brightest sun the next day?!”
“Wow! For a hypothetically super badass leader of a gang you can be really sappy!” Nino said smirking as he sat back at his seat next to Satoshi.
Sho just laughed. “And you… for a hypothetically closed to his own world little geek you can be such a brat!”
Satoshi burst into laughs; something that seemed to annoy Nino. “Did you say anything my Toshi?!”
Satoshi pecked lightly his lips. “I didn’t say anything… my Kazu!”
Masaki wiped his tears. “Ma-kun… seriously you should work on your crybabiness!”
Everyone including Masaki laughed at Nino’s comment. “I want to eat my hamburger with my cute hamburger hands… I don’t want to be distracted by your little whines!” he continued in the same playful way.
Masaki had turned his head away. “It’s just that I’m happy!”
“To our friendship!” Satoshi was holding his cup up to prevent another series of Nino's teasing comments towards Masaki.
“To our friendship!” repeated everyone, chinking their glasses.
***
“Ma-kun don’t be like that… I’m pretty sure that Sho-chan will shower you with messages full of declarations of love and adoration once you get back home!” Nino said as they were walking towards their houses. Sho and Satoshi had left together since they were heading north.
“I doubt it that I’m going to be the only one… Doesn’t your Toshi send you as well messages like My Kazu, my cute little kitty, I can’t wait to see you again…?”
Nino gave a soft nudge at Masaki. “Don’t make fun of me…”
Masaki smiled. “You really love him don’t you?!” he said, having his gaze focused on the road ahead of him.
“I do. I really do…” Nino’s voice was nothing like before. It was sincere, it was shy.
Masaki muffled his head. “You can’t believe how happy I am for you Nino-chan!”
Nino looked at his friend’s eyes. “You can’t believe how happy I am for you too Ma-kun… you deserve this… that’s why I cross my fingers Sho really makes you happy!”
“I do know that Nino-chan… I know!” Masaki replied and embraced him tightly.
***
“Why didn’t you tell Masaki that the trial will take place in a week from now?” Satoshi asked his friend as they were heading to the bus stop.
“I don’t want to put him under pressure. I mean… it’s going to be a difficult situation… I know it’s the last one but I wish that he’s away from all this as much as possible…”
“Are you nervous?!” Satoshi asked him concerned.
“Well… unless I hear the final decision I can’t be less than nervous…” Sho admitted.
“You don’t have to… This is the last thing… and then it will be over…”
“That’s exactly why I feel nervous… I want it so badly to happen…”
“Everything will be fine and I will be there with you… so don’t worry about it! Ok?” Satoshi said while smiling reassuringly to his friend.
“Thank you Satoshi… I hope it will be the end…”
“It will be Sho… I promise you it will be!”

As you may have understood in the next chap (which is also the last one) the trial will take place and Nino's secret for Sakuraiba will be revealed! ;) I won't say more... :P
I would also like to say that there will be an epilogue, the side-story of Jun, and a small side-story of Ohmiya since the rest of the fic will be more focused on Sakuraiba... I hope that way everyone that reads this story will be happy!
And last but not least I want to say THANK YOU to
agogo_kun who made two amazing drawings (Sakuraiba & Ohmiya) inspired from Kako no Sakura! kyaaaaaa I still can't believe it!!! <333Anyway... I stop rambling here! ^^' I hope you enjoy the chapter and comments are as always <333!!!
See you next week minna! ^_^
